And, the Washington Department of Licensing is sharing driver data with ICE.
If Ferguson wants to protect people from ICE, there are lots of concrete actions he can take instead of making vague, empty claims at press conferences

![POLICE CHIEF BARNES: Officers, let's discuss SPD protocol for interacting with ICE agents
-For starters, never look them directly in the eyes as this could activate their "prey drive"
-Also, don’t distract them by striking up a conversation about hiring bonuses or their favorite brand of teargas
-Finally--and this should go without saying--absolutely no high fiving within view of the general public
-Obviously protesters are still fair game ["Yay" "Woo hoo"]
-Now let's focus on our duty to protect and serve the people of Seattle. Well, most of them!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:carj4mhaflwfubqzioy5wxl3/bafkreietz64kiqp32qh2ksuqobnkx3yzavyav6yljk6s7mcrqad7uwbmmq@jpeg)

Yep, that’s me. It was my kids, living and protesting on Capitol Hill, who were getting tear-gassed. This normie dad went from “there’s a few bad apples” to “do not ever trust the cops” overnight.

When the SPD got done teargassing and assaulting Seattle during the George Floyd protests, they got 19K complaints of police violence, which resulted in just 143 investigations and only 25 wrist-slap disciplinary actions. Our entire accountability structure failed. BUT (1/2)

Right now, Bob Ferguson oversees direct intelligence sharing through the Washington State Fusion Center with at least 245 DHS agents, including ICE & CBP.
That Fusion Center is located within the FBI Field Office in Seattle which shares a zero lot line with an NSA peering spying hub.

Secretary Noem, your administration now openly authorizes ICE agents to forcibly enter people's homes without a judicial warrant.
That is blatantly unconstitutional – ICE cannot authorize itself to break into people’s homes.
If ICE attempts such unconstitutional measures in Washington...

Today I learned former Seattle police chief Gil Kerlikowske (2001-2009) was the head of CBP under Obama. While at SPD he helped shield officers from consequences for excessive force & had his duty weapon stolen from his car (lol) BUT also 2003 was the first time in 15 years SPD didn't kill anyone

There was also a funny moment earlier where former state Sen. Joe Nguyen opposed the Well WA Fund as Commerce Dept. head, and Rep. Scott pointed out Nguyen had sponsored a bill 6 years ago in #WALeg to create a progressive payroll tax just like this one, and asked him what had changed.
